Thanks to phenomenal groups like SB19, MNL48, and BGYO, P-pop is gaining attention not only from Pinoys but from fans across the globe too. Pinoys are undeniably talented and these groups prove that. The two-day P-pop Convention early this year is a stark example. And now, ABS-CBN has partnered with Korean agencies to form the next hottest P-pop boy group set to debut in Korea. Here’s how you can shoot your shot.

MLD CEO Lee Hyoungjin believes that P-Pop is the next global phenomenon after K-pop. “I have seen so much talent in the P-pop side and just girls and boys who love to sing and dance. As K-Pop has become a global phenomenon, I believe that P-pop is the next,” he said.
As for ABS-CBN Head of TV Production and Star Magic Head Laurenti Dyogi, his goal is to bring Filipino talent to the global stage. “We are getting serious in getting to the international arena. We are looking at all ways and means to get Filipino artists and Filipino talents to be recognized globally.”
Dyogi also expressed excitement about having partners who can help Filipino talent get the recognition it deserves.
